[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7158943, member: 629234"] yah, the cross-overs you have are called "passive" just like the cross-overs inside your 2,3,4-way speakers in your house. for taking one chanel and splitting the output to different frequency speakers. so, the sub amp doesn't have a low-pass switch/knob/screw to set, or adjust? if not, you will be playing full-range through your subs, which can damage them. if you cannot segregate the rca signal with the amps, perhaps you can invert the front/rear configuration. i'm assuming you are playing the fronts off the head, and powering the rears off the amp. you have different options without adding anything. you can simply run the rear speaker amp from the front rca's, if you want to keep fading, you can hook the front speakers to the rear speaker outputs from the deck. this way, you can leave the rear rca's set to sub, and the deck will not fade them, and the only problem, would be that front and rear on the deck would fade back-wards. the best thing, would simply to install an active cross-over.
